I take ramen to go from this shop once in awhile. The quality is consistent, it is never crowded, the orders arrive pretty fast. I wish they had a nicer seating inside. Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20 Recommended dishes Soy Vegan

It starts with a very difficult non-detailed kiosk menu (no way to read the menu any other way). No nutrition, dietary info or allergy warnings at all. If you’re vegetarian be careful about ordering tofu - it’s soaked in soy and too salty to eat enough to actually fill you up. I literally walked away hungry from a place I just paid $25 to feed me. When asked about allergens the manager told me “I was told not to give our ingredient list”. That being said he did everything he could to help me figure it out. The ambiance is ok. It’s basically a patio very modernly empty. I’ve driven by many many times and it’s always empty. That should say something. I’ve heard the ramen is good at other locations- I don’t know cuz I’m not going back to try it. I wouldn’t recommend based on my experience. Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
Been to a lot of amazing ramen places in Gardena, and this place used to be as good as any of them! This last visit just had minimal broth flavor. For the price, it's just not worth it. I think some of the other reviewers are right and it's just not as good as it used to be. Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20 Food: 2

Used to eat here often and I think this is the last time unfortunately. We got OG ramen and Kick ramen, which both had zero broth flavor and were super bland. The gyoza seemed to be frozen and heated up, it was so rubbery and barely seared, mediocre pork. Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 2

Food is excellent. It's a bit pricey, but I am OK paying up for quality ingredients. The meat portions are about 4oz, so it's OK for lunch but not quite a dinner portion. The eating situation is unfortunate as it's very cold and basically just outdoor eating with no heaters. The food is a bit slow so order ahead unless you don't mind waiting 20 minutes.

Had a great time at this place, excellent service and the food was delicious. Their chicken is bomb, and the portion you get is a big amount. Staff was friendly, she was very helpful and always asked how we were doing, prices are, well you know... definitely would come back and would recommend to anyone.

Best chicken ramen ever. It’s easy to find good pork ramen, but chicken is usually an afterthought — dry & tasteless. Not here! The chicken is amazing, so very, very good. I’m getting hungry just writing this. Come to Kotsu. Order Kick in pork, chicken, or vegan. Get beer or wine from next door (or bring it from home). Yum!!!!

Came into this location by mistake as I was trying to reach the place across the street. Service was horrible, food was even worse. Come in and you are told to order your food in a kiosk by the waiter who standing off to the side doing nothing but just standing there. Order your food : $14 for a bowl of tonkotsu ramen $4 for extra noodles $2.25 for a can of soda I asked for some water and got a literal 1 cup of water. The soda did not come with a cup on the side  to pour your drink into.  You are expected to drink straight out of the can. The food was bland and the noodles were chewy. The pork was deep fried without any seasoning as all you could taste was the oil. The ajitsuke tamago (marinated egg) was flavorless. The gimmick of the place is that a robot cat comes and delivers your food to your table which is then served to you by the waitress. While it might excite little kids it only comes across as cringey to an adult. I also found that a lot of the reviews are clearly bought for this place. One of the "reviewers" did not even bother inserting the name of the place into what is clearly a template good review. Overall,  thanks to the service and the taste of this place I will not be coming back. P.s. Parking behind the restaurant is limited Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2
